Introduction

Our delegation is excited about the opportunity to join GnosisDAO, where we hope to contribute significantly to one of the longest-running DAOs in the ecosystem. We have a dedicated team passionate about Gnosis and committed to governance activities.

The main objective of this delegation will be to maintain active and meaningful participation, contributing to the growth and evolution of GnosisDAO and GnosisChain, entities that deeply resonate with our values and principles.

What is SEEDGov?

SEEDGov is a dynamic and evolving vertical within the SEED Org ecosystem, dedicated to shaping the future of decentralized governance in the web3 space through active participation, community engagement, decision-making and experimentation. Our approach stands for minimizing governance where appropriate and professionalize it where necessary.

We are the first Latam based Delegate Platform actively engaging in various governance activities. Rooted in community values, we’ve shifted from educational models to a participatory approach, driving a new chapter in how individuals collaborate, coordinate, and decide in the ever-changing landscape of Web3.

How we work

As a professional delegate platform SEEDGov collaborates with communities and partners to ensure credible representation of all interested in Web3’s future. Since its inception, SEEDGov has advocated for critical thinking through education. We do not endorse scams or collaborate with blockchains, projects, or protocols that are not aligned with our core values.

The members selected to be part of our delegation will collaborate both directly and indirectly with other SEEDGov members. Any decisions made by this delegation regarding governance will be thoroughly discussed and communicated to all stakeholders through our discussion channels and properly executed through specialized units.

Delegate Motivation

SEEDOrg>SEEDGov>GnosisDAO

Participation in forum discussion threads and daily activities represent the opinions of SEEDGov and collaborators in their efforts to stay up to date with their roles and commitment to governance; Regular discussions occur prior to deciding our next steps and opinions about governance topics that arise, all through this profile.

Our delegation will do its utmost to represent and embody our values in governance:

Decentralization: Gnosis is one of the most decentralized and credibly neutral blockchains and all of our initiatives and proposals will align with this same principle. Along with this position, and as the Gnosis ecosystem continues to mature and be driven by its community, we will collaborate in the creation, iteration, and improvement of governance processes to ensure broader participation and that the system remains secure.
Growth: We will promote and support all initiatives that enable the growth and adoption of Gnosis’s ecosystem. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring that all growth initiatives are reliable, secure, and sustainable over time.
Security: we will always make sure that no DAO decisions will jeopardize the security of the protocol and thus harm users.
Ethos and support: We will actively contribute to the governance of GnosisDAO and the Gnosis ecosystem. We look forward to working with other interested delegates to promote the Gnosis mission and encourage others to actively participate in DAO governance.

Why Gnosis?

We have been closely following the development and growth of this exciting ecosystem, reading, researching, and paying attention. Our strong desire for the success and scalability of blockchains, along with its global impact potential has motivated us to engage and seek an active role. Joining GnosisDAO as a delegation represents an excellent starting point in this ecosystem to make a positive contribution.

Our values and ethos have a reason to be due to the real use case and solution that Gnosis offers to a problem that exists in not only Latin America but also parts of the world where their legal tender currencies and economies lack financial stability.

Gnosis is an ecosystem that provides real solutions to the problems faced by the user for which crypto was introduced in the first place: it’s secure and stable, it has the same architecture as Ethereum with the same Execution and Consensus Layer, and permissionless financial products at a very low cost. Due to our background, we perfectly understand this user, we comprehend their needs, and we want to contribute so that these solutions reach them.

On another note, it is also strongly aligned with Ethereum values, as part of the “Ethereumverse”, where a great variety of products from this universe have decided to be part of this “sister” ecosystem that is Gnosis (AAVE, Maker, Uniswap, etc). Due to these reasons it has gained strong attention among builders and developers and we commit to giving a voice to these projects and individuals: showcasing, collaborating, and onboarding the next wave of users and builders.

Our case

From our perspective, some strengths make this DAO a special case:

GnosisDAO possesses a considerable financial reserve.
@Karpatkey is steering the ship ensuring Robust Treasury Management, not only reinforcing the financial strength for strategic initiatives but also establishing a safety net.
Also, the impressive track record in incubating successful projects highlights the Gnosis’s commitment to innovation and its effective decision-making. With a keen focus on key use cases such as payments (Gnosis Pay), real-world assets (RealT), interoperability (Hashi), governance (Zodiac Module), and AI (Gnosis AI), coupled with other successful projects the VC team outperforms many.

Working on these key aspects using as a guide the good precedents in terms of project incubation and considering the excellent health of the treasury, allows us to intuit that these strengths can be capitalized from GnosisDAO, as the entity in charge of managing the resources and promoting the growth of Gnosis Chain.

From our point of view, DAOs usually face serious challenges when trying to achieve their mission, the biggest ones are related to maintaining good participation rates, active discussions, and having healthy governance and organic engagement (genuine interest) while sustaining the effectiveness of the DAO and its purpose.

That said, we believe that GnosisDAO could address these topics by empowering community involvement, overcoming voter apathy, onboarding new actors, and looking for frameworks to help streamline governance processes.

In this sense, considering that decentralization and pluralism on average are likely to outperform the coherency and focus that comes from centralization, we want to contribute our perspective and voice to encourage debate and discussion.

At SEEDGov we have a wide range of ideas to apply that we hope will increase community participation in decision-making and in turn establish clear guidelines for how the DAO will function in the future.

Conflicts of Interest
